Systemic sclerosis Sine scleroderma(ssSSc) is an uncommon subtype of Systemic sclerosis(SSc), which is believed to attack internal organs without causing changes in the skin. Electrogastrography has been known to be a simple, non-invasive, and effective method in assessing gastric motility. In this new study, a case of Systemic sclerosis Sine Scleroderma exhibiting gastric symptoms was observed. For this, we applied herbal medicine. manual acupucture, electro-acupucture, and lumbar skin wanning. After applying these therapies, both systemic and dyspeptic symptoms of the patient improved. Electrogastrography suggests a relation between gastric myoelectrical activity and the patient's improvement in dyspeptic symptoms. Therefore, based on study of Oriental medical classics and recent medical articles, clinically emperical success in treating gastric dysmotility was seen in a patient with Systemic sclerosis Sine Scleroderma.

피부 경화증(scleroderma)은 만성 결체조직 질환으로 정확한 원인은 밝혀지지 않았으나 자가 면역 질환으로 알려져 있다. 대개 $30{\sim}50$세의 여성에서 호발하며 소아에서는 매우 드물다. 장기의 이환여부에 따라 국소성과 전신성 피부 경화증으로 분류할 수 있다. 국소적 형태는 예후가 양호하고 피부에만, 또는 피하 근육까지 이환되며, 내부 장기에는 이환되지 않는다. 전신적인 형태는 피부와 구강점막 및 위장계, 호흡계, 심혈관계 등을 포함하늘 전신 다발적 발생 (multisystemic involvement)이 특징적이다. 안면피부 이환시 작고 예리한 코, 무표정한 응시 (expressionless stare), 좁아진 입모양(narrow oral aperture) 등이 특징적이다. 대개 레이노 현상(Raynaud's phenomenon)이 존재하며 질환이 진행되면서 개구장애와 혀, 치은의 경화가 나타나게 된다. 피부 석회증(calcinosis cutis), 레이노현상(Raynaud's phenomenon). 식도 기능부전(esophageal dysfunction), 공지증(sclerodactyly), 모세혈관 확장증(telangioectasia)이 복합된 질환을 크레스트 증후군(CREST syndrome)이라 부른다. 피부 경화증의 치료는 국소적 및 전신적 스테로이드 치료, collagen cross-link inhibitor (D-penicillamine), 면역억제제 등을 사용한다. 개구제한의 치료는 설압자를 이용한 mouth stretching exercise를 통해 개선될 수 있다. 본 증례에서는 국소성 피부 경화증으로 진단되고 개구제한이 있는 6세 남아에게 아산화질소와 enflurane을 이용한 깊은 진정요법을 이용하여 상하악 제 1, 2 유구치의 우식치료 치험례를 보고한다.

Progressive systemic sclerosis is a disease of unknown origin and uncommon in the east area. We experienced one case of severe peptic esophageal stricture due to esophageal scleroderma. The patient`s life quality was improved with the esophageal reconstructive procedure using reversed tubed gastric pedicle and his body weight was normalized with regular diet.

Pediatric rheumatologic diseases are rare systemic diseases that can involve various organs, including the kidneys. Each rheumatologic disease can exhibit characteristic renal involvement, which requires proper treatment and diagnosis. In this review, we discuss renal involvement in classic rheumatologic diseases, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, and juvenile dermatomyositis. Reviews addressing lupus nephritis and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated renal disease are complex and tend to cover a wide array of topics, and thus were excluded from this review.

Extensive tumoral calcinosis affecting a large joint is uncommon in patients with systemic sclerosis. We report the case of a 52-year-old female patient referred for a growing calcified mass in the shoulder. She was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease and progressive systemic sclerosis. Although the pain and disability associated with the affected joint was not severe, the patient underwent surgical excision because the mass continued to grow and was likely to produce shoulder dysfunction and skin ulceration. The patient appeared well 10 months after surgery with no signs of recurrence. This report highlights the timing and indication of surgical excision in similar cases.

We report a case of fluoroscopy-guided intraarticular steroid injection for sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) arthritis caused by limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis (SSc). A 50-year-old woman diagnosed with limited cutaneous SSc presented with swelling and pain in the right SCJ. MRI revealed signs of inflammation consistent with right-sided sternoclavicular joint arthritis. After the failure of oral medications, we performed fluoroscopy-guided injection in this region. She reported complete resolution of her symptoms at 4 and 12-week follow-ups. This outcome suggests that a fluoroscopy-guided SCJ injection might be a safe and successful treatment option for sternoclavicular joint arthritis.

Although the relationship between malignancy risk with systemic sclerosis (SSc) has been inconclusive, there are some previous studies for a positive correlation. Most patients with SSc have some degree of lung parenchymal involvement in the form of interstitial thickening and fibrosis. Interstitial lung disease is the most common pulmonary manifestation of SSc. Interstitial lung disease following chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin [FOLFOX]) is an uncommon life-threatening complication and it is induced by oxaliplatin. We report a case of multiple cancers in a patient with SSc and aggravated interstitial lung disease by chemotherapy.
